Monsters of the Island...

Got some new hard cases for you at Tomodachi Island! These monsters are each unique and have a little story behind them. Hope you like them! You can click each picture to go to the shop listing!

Aries Time Lapse...

Hope all of you have had a great weekend. I've spent all morning getting this Time Lapse ready for you lot. I finished the Aries Zodiac over the weekend and filmed the process. So I thought I'd share the video as well as the finished painting with you. This will become a print and also a phone case eventually. But there is 11 more Zodiacs to finish before the products will be up in the shop.

WIP's of the Week...

 Yeey! It's Friday! And I've got a whole weekend off to look forward to. How great is that?!?! I thought I'd share some WIP snapshots with you. I am doing work at the moment that is a bit more elaborate and takes a bit longer to finish than just fairly simple patterns. This is why the blog posts have been a bit more sparse lately. But I am trying to update you at least every other day. So these are the WIP's anyway. Hope you like having a little sneak peak in to my brain ^^

Have a great weekend Everyone out there! <3

Datchis here, Datchis there, Datchis EVERYWHERE!

Good Morning peoples! I've spent the past two days making these little sweeties. I spend a whole day designing them and probably a whole day photographing them. I wanted something a little bit different from Tomodachi Islands normal Yeties so I decided to make a Yeti/Owling hybrid. So these are the Datchis!

 I started out with some rough drawings as I always do when it comes to designing new phone sleeves. They more or less always come out very differently from the drawings but it is good to know what you're doing before you set out cutting and sewing.

Once that is done I draw up the patterns I'm going to need. I keep a little box in my crafting cupboard with loads of paper cuttings of old and new patterns. You never know when you might need to use them again.

 Needles and thread....

And some fabric paint and we're all good to put these little cuties together... And here's how they came out:

 The Pink DATCHIS!

 And here's a little snap shot of them all together.

And a little photo from yesterdays photo shoot. I an hurting today. It is not easy to crawl around on the floor trying to take nice pictures when you got a massive preggie belly in the way lol. But I think they came out alright in the end and also, the lounge has to the best natural light in the house. So it was worth it :D

A messy desk and some drawings...

 Happy Monday everyone! Yup, new week, new adventures. For me it is loaded with work work work. I wanted to have some new drawings for you today as I started my Sunday with drawing. Unfortunately I ended up with a terrible stomach cramp and weren't able to sit up right. Let's just say I spent most of Sunday horizontally on the couch in front of Grand Designs on 4OD.

 I did however manage to finish of a few drawings. These are to be designs for the iPhone cases and also I wanted to draw all of the characters you can find on Tomodachi Island and make iPhone cases out of them as well.

 So I have started that process that might be a bit of a long one. I love drawing them as I can give them more character and I also plan give you a more detailed introduction of each one of them when they're finished.

 A little photo of my toys that still need a shelf of their own as they're not safe where they are :'(

 I did some test prints of these two during the weekend and they came out lovely too. I am so in to making patterns at the moment that I have to force myself in to doing other things too...

Also need to order some new fur today as the stock is running low. For some reason I got loads of pink though. Seem to never run out of that....
Plans for this week is to get more stock in and to create new stuff for Tomodachi Island as mobiLOVE has had most of my attention lately.
What are your plans for the week???

Phone cases...

Blog entries have been a bit sparse this week as I've been working allot. And I am really sorry about that. The patterns from the other day are up on phone cases at MobiLOVE anyway and ready to be purchased. Next week I will start a little series called "The Week in Pictures". Basically I will do a blog post every Monday with photos from the past week. These photos can be of anything that has happened during my week, but will mainly contain photos from my every day work. So I am looking forward to starting that, as I have loads of new projects coming up.

 Have a great weekend everyone and I will see you on Monday again! You can click the pictures to be redirected to the case you fancy.

And Moooooore Patterns....

Good morning everyone! Hope the start of the week has been great for you. I started my week with designing some more patterns. I worked on these Sunday night and Monday. This week I work allot at my part time job, so I won't find as much time to work on my personal stuff. These are not on Phone cases just yet, but I hope to be able to do that tomorrow. This first one is one of my favs anyway, my Brollies and Drops pattern. What I love most about it is the simplicity of it I think. And how easy it is to customize. Will make a few different versions of this one me thinks.

Here's another fav of mine. It reminds me so much of my grandmother. She used to have bed sheets in these colours and they used to be so soft and I just loved them when I was a child. So this one is definitely inspired by my grandmother who sadly aint with us anymore. A little tribute to her.

And this is obviously  a more "modern" take on the pattern if you may. I love blue, yellow and red together. They just compliment each other so well.

I also felt like making something a little more "glamorous" and since I had a show girly looking fan in my sketch book I thought I'd have a go at that. I'm not sure on these yet, but maybe someone out there will love them. It's just not my style, but was nice to try something different. What do you think? Was it worth my time or not? ;)
